Ben Greenwood is continuing his apprenticeship at the Royal Institute of Magic, hoping things will be slightly less complicated now that he has advanced to the second grade. Fat chance.
Coupled with the sterner challenges that the second grade brings, there is also the small matter of the impending dark elf invasion, making life at the Institute even busier than usual. Ben is the only one who can stop them, by finding Elizabeth's Armour and its Guardians. Ben has retrieved one piece of the Armour – the boots – but the rest remain hidden. He has just one clue, which could lead to Elizabeth's Helm: an old black and white photo given to him by the Master of Apprentices. Ben must split his time between his apprenticeship and searching for the helm, before the dark elves strike and all hell breaks loose.
Victor Kloss’s The Protectors is the third book in the Royal Institute of Magic series—a thrilling adventure for young readers who love fantastical stories, spellbinding worlds, and unforgettable heroes.

Praise for the Royal Institute of Magic series:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ a cross between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson in that the characters are always on the move at a sort of breathless pace.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ … you don't have to be a magical creature to use magic. Cool.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful Read! Not just for kids, adults will enjoy it just as much!
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ … a great sense of adventure, the story line never lagged, and his characters are well defined.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's kind of like a steam-punk version of magic…
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ … original with diverse characters and enough action and mystery to entertain teens to adults.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is honestly one of the few books that I have enjoyed as much as Harry Potter.
